Early bets at 60th Binibining Pilipinas
THE Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) held its final closed-door screening at the New Frontier Theater on April 5 for the 60th edition of its prestigious pageant. I observed the proceedings in my hometown of Cagayan de Oro, also home to Binibining Pilipinas International 1989 Lilia Eloisa Marfori Andanar (later Miss International 1989 Miss Friendship), Miss Universe Philippines 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtbach (later Miss Universe 2015) and Binibining Pilipinas InterContinental 2021 Cinderella Faye Obeñita (later Miss InterContinental 2021).
